Confusion is a producer, label head of Vakuum, and resident DJ of Raserei. His puristic dancefloor-oriented sound is characterized by highly effective rhythms, minimalist layers, and trippy atmospheres or textures that traverse various tempos and subgenres, maintaining a consistent energy level. Drawing inspiration from his roots as a drummer and the evolving landscape of techno over the decades, Confusion finds additional creative influence in his appreciation for ambient soundscapes, IDM, and other experimental electronic genres.
Since 2017, he is shaping the regional techno scene in Mannheim and its surroundings. Hosting visionary club nights at Disco Zwei with well-respected bookings, he has been an integral part of the local scene since then. Further bookings in institutional clubs like Tresor and RSO in Berlin or FVTVR in Paris followed.
In recent years, his focus has expanded to crafting own stripped-down yet minimalistic but timeless techno tracks with highest attention to detail. After the first musical output on various platforms, he released his first vinyl record on the esteemed label SK_eleven, run by Setaoc Mass, as part of the SKX series. The launch of his own vinyl label Vakuum followed in 2025 and functions as his most personal artistic exploration.
Confusion's music has received support from established artists like DVS1, Ben Klock, Luke Slater, Rødhåd, Rene Wise, Philippa Pacho, Marrøn, Blue Hour, and Quelza to name a few, who played his tracks in sets at renowned venues like Berghain, KHIDI, Bassiani, Basement, FOLD and Radion.
